Amendments

It's the last weekend before the election, and so much is on the line for Colorado.

We've written frequently about "The Bad Three" – Amendments 60, 61 and Proposition 101.

But don't forget about the The Other Bad Three on this year's ballot – Amendments 62, 63 and Proposition 102. These measures also are confusing and conflicting, narrow and partisan and deceptive and cynical.

Amendment 62, the "personhood" amendment, would amend the state constitution to extend rights "to every human being from the beginning of biological development."

Many Coloradans get their water from municipal enterprises, including customers of Aurora Water, Denver Water, Fort Collins Utilities and Pueblo Water Works.

These are local enterprises funded by the fees they charge for providing water and other services to their customers. The Bad Three – Amendment 60, Amendment 61 and Proposition 101 – will drive up water rates for these and other customers throughout Colorado.

A modern transportation system with well-maintained bridges for our roads and highways is important to our quality of life and economy. Sounds so basic, right?

But Colorado has 128 structurally deficient and functionally obsolete bridges, and if Amendment 61 and Proposition 101 pass, it will be nearly impossible to repair or replace them any time soon. Here's why.
